Is there anyway to get them talking to share media? Would be really great if it was possible. I have Boot Camp but I prefer not to use XP unless I really have to.

Also, all my music is stored on my OS X format and for some reason Windows Media Player only detects about a third of it all, I need to run iTunes on XP to listen to my full library. Anyone know what this problem is related to?

Connect360 is a plugin that will let you use your media on your Mac with a 360.

Stretch, what kind of cable do you need?

If your 360 is on your home network, then you don't need any cable. I have my 360 plugged into my Airport Express, and my computer does everything over the wireless.

Cheers Stretch, never realised that it was in the wrong forum since it's about a OS X app, that's the forum I searched.

And yup this works perfectly, nice little piece of software when you pay for the full version, using it with the built-in wireless in my macbook and the wireless adapter for the xbox
